Retinal Angiography Risks & Side Effects

Your skin may become yellow, because the yellow dye travels to all veins of the body. However, after few hours, your skin pigmentation becomes normal.

Further, your urine may look orange or bright yellow for a maximum of 24 hours after angiography because the kidneys will filter the dye out of the blood.

Moreover, there would be a burning sensation on skin if dye leaks while injecting. This sensation would be just for few minutes.

Additionally, if an individual is allergic to the fluorescein dye, he or she may get hives or itchy skin and very rarely, they may experience breathing or other severe problems. Kindly, let us know if you have had any previous reactions with yellow dye used during angiography.

Prior to performing this test, our doctors will do a thorough analysis of your medical conditions and try to ensure that there are no side effects. They treat allergic reactions if they do occur with medications.
